If Zheng Heping thought that after Xu Moran asked these two questions, he would end the interrogation pleasantly for Jiang Moli's sake, then...
Ideals are lofty, but reality is cruel. What happened next can only be said to Zheng Heping: Old Zheng, you are too naive. You are a man in your thirties, how come you still don't know how to be more careful?
Xu Moran quickly wrote Zheng Heping's age on the paper, then looked up at him again and asked, "Gender?"
Zheng Heping was almost furious. If they weren't at the police station, and if he weren't under someone else's roof and had no choice but to back down, he would have slammed his fist on the table and roared. She clearly knew that he was Jiang Moli's husband, and that he had even had a child with Jiang Moli, yet she still asked him about the gender.
His mouth was crooked, and because he was angry, it became even crooked, and the injury on his mouth hurt even more.
Zheng Heping may have been humble in the past, but now he is ahead of many people. His inferiority complex has been covered up by his inflated vanity.
Therefore, he is now refusing to cooperate in answering Xu Moran's questions.
Xu Moran glanced at him again, put the pen on the table, slapped the table with both hands, and said to Xiao Chen as if to stand up and leave, "Xiao Chen, this gentleman is so uncooperative, I can't take this statement. You should try someone else."
Upon hearing Xu Moran's words, Xiao Chen immediately became anxious. He couldn't find anyone else to help him besides Xu Moran. Moreover, he was waiting to complete his task and couldn't afford to delay.
He raised his hand, slammed it on the table, stood up abruptly, and angrily rebuked Zheng Heping, "You better cooperate properly!"
Zheng Heping was truly a bully who preyed on the weak. After being yelled at by Xiao Chen, he became much more obedient and said, "Gender... male."
Why does it feel so strange to reveal one's gender in front of Xu Moran? Why does it feel like Jiang Moli has told Xu Moran a secret between her and her husband?
As he was making wild guesses, Xu Moran picked up his pen again and said, "Your voice was too soft, I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."
Zheng Heping looked at Xu Moran through his swollen eyes, which were barely open, and realized that this woman was deliberately making things difficult for him. He had never thought she was so difficult before.
Xu Moran looked back at Zheng Heping with an expression that said, "I'm deliberately making things difficult for you, so what can you do about it?"
"Xu..." Zheng Heping finally realized that he couldn't outmaneuver Xu Moran at the police station, so he stopped himself from shouting the name and changed it to "Officer Xu".
"Officer Xu, please continue asking your questions. I will definitely cooperate." Zheng Heping licked his lips; he hadn't had any water for a long time and was very thirsty.
It wasn't that the police station was mistreating him by not even giving him water; rather, he was used to being an official in the government office, where his assistants would always pour him tea and water. He naturally assumed that someone would also proactively pour him tea and water at the police station.
People who value face too much will suffer.
Xu Moran noticed that Zheng Heping was licking his lips more than once. After thinking for a moment, he asked Xiao Chen to pour him a glass of water.
As soon as the water was placed in front of him, Zheng Heping disregarded his status as a government official and picked it up to drink it in large gulps.
Xiao Chen was stunned by how fast he drank the water. It was a full glass of water, and he finished it in just a few gulps.
My goodness, she's so thirsty!
Xu Moran waited until Zheng Heping finished drinking the water before starting to take his statement again, "Tell me in detail what happened last night."
Thinking back to last night, Zheng Heping felt he had never been so unlucky. He went to a bar to drink with his female subordinate who had liked him for a long time and had been flirting with him for a long time.
I had drunk enough and thought I could go do what I needed to do, but I got beaten up in the parking lot.
For some reason, the person didn't even confirm the man's name before hitting him. He just threw a piece of clothing over his head and then started beating him up.
Another crucial point is that the person who hit Zheng Heping, how he hit him, and where he hit him, all depended on his mood, and last night his mood was to hit Zheng Heping in the face.
He had so many places on his body, but he only hit his face.
Fists rained down on Zheng Heping's face, and he could only howl in pain, unable to resist at all.
Zheng Heping finally experienced firsthand what it means to be at the mercy of others.
The assailant only released him after he was beaten to the ground and unable to stand up for a while.
Zheng Heping always thought that the perpetrator was either a drunkard who was beating people while drunk and he just happened to be the unlucky one; or the perpetrator mistook him for someone else and beat him up like this.
As it turned out, he was wrong. After beating him, the assailant did not flee, but instead asked his terrified female subordinate for her cell phone.
The woman was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, covering her head with her hands, her body trembling uncontrollably. After witnessing the whole process of Zheng Heping being brutally beaten, she would be willing to do anything, even if it meant taking off her clothes and running naked around the bar ten times, let alone asking for her phone.
In a typical scenario, the perpetrator would not only want the phone but also the wallet, and if they were bold enough, they might even sexually assault the victim.
The clothes that had been covering Zheng Heping's head were suddenly ripped off by the assailant. Zheng Heping looked at the assailant in horror, "You... what do you want to do?"
As he spoke, he kept clutching his clothes, afraid that the abuser had his eye on him.
Having been brutally beaten to the point of begging for mercy, he was determined to defend the dignity of his chrysanthemum to the death.
The perpetrator noticed what Zheng Heping was thinking, gave him a disapproving look, and then ignored him, opening the woman's phone and quickly searching for something on it.
